The Tax Train is Coming

I have incorporated it into my retirement planning portfolio, and have implemented it for clients who get the concept.

“Need to take action. And that some advisors don’t like IULs. Considering renting theater, depending on how I like the movie.” -Maria Zakutny

“Confirmed the inclination of the insurance industry to go out on a limb with promotions premised on future expectations. Though I may not disagree with the premise of higher tax rates, I find it intriguing how long sales have been premised on “higher tax rates and lower markets” only to be thwarted by lower rates and higher markets. Just a word of caution about exercising reliance on forecasts of future events. Integrate the compelling tax concern with a heightened due diligence of regulatory and legislative compliance.” -David Sterling
